Summary
"Vincent & Theo" is a 1990 biographical drama film about the Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh and his younger brother and an art dealer Theo. Van Gogh's work is now famous, but he was not recognized in his lifetime and lived with the support of his younger brother Theo. The film, directed by Robert Altman, starred Tim Roth as Vincent Van Gogh and Paul Rhys as Theo Van Gogh. The film was made as a four-hour mini-series for television, and a 138-minute version was shown in the theaters. The film covers during the period from 1883 to 1891, including Vincent van Gogh's decision to work as a full-time painter, his death, and the death of his younger brother Theo a few months later.

Interesting stories about the film
1. The cost used to reproduce Van Gogh's masterpieces was saved by hiring art students and drawing them.
2. Originally, the film was produced as the BBC's 4-hour mini-series. The director, Robert Altman and screenwriter Julian Mitchell were able to shorten the screening time to just over two hours by focusing on Van Gogh's later life.
Thank you.
